I am planning a trip to NYC and called the Intrepid a few months ago for some information. The address is INTREPID SEA AIR SPACE MUSEUM, INTREPID SQUARE, West 46th Street and 12th Avenue, New York, NY, 10036. They sent me a couple of very informative brochures. It does not state the hours, but admission is adults $6.00, children (6-11) $3.25, and senior citizens $5.00. You are free to wander the carrier on a self-guided tour, and there is something called a "recorded tour" available. There is a gift shop and continuous showings of several films related to the Intrepid. Also open for tours nearby are the guided-missle submarine USS Growler and the destroyer USS Edson. It sounds very interesting. I would be interested to hear the impressions of anyone who has been there. Roger Kaufman NCR Corp. Wichita, Kansas

From: Eric Edward Moore <em21+@andrew.cmu.edu> I've been there. I thought it was pretty interesting. Many of the operational areas like the bridge and control center have been left "intact", that is they havent been replaced by more meuseum like areas. The museum areas are mostly about the carrier war in the pacific (WWII) and the history of aviation. The flight deck has a whole bunch of old planes on it and these are pretty interesting, as are the museums. Personally I rather liked the whole thing. I think the most interesting thing was the old planes so if you plan on going (which I reccomend) try to go on a warm day. The deck gets awfully cold and breezy in winter. -Love Kisses and a Neutron Bomb -Eric the Finn
